I don’t believe any Olympic Games has been delivered under more difficult circumstances. Huge investmentHosting Olympic games is expensive with host nations parting with huge sums to have the mega-sporting event take place. Of that amount, 4.4 billion dollars came from taxpayers. Athens spent 15 billion dollars hosting the 2004 Olympics. Beijing spent over 22.5 billion dollars constructing roads, airports and rails, as well as almost 11.25 billion dollars on environmental cleanup.
